The Book of Balance
By Yasuhiko Genku Kimura

Four
Empty of all doctrines,
The Tao is wisdom eternally inexhaustible.
Fathomless for the mere intellect,
The Tao is the law wherewith all things come into being.

It blunts the edges of the intellect,
Untangles the knots of the mind,
Softens the glare of thinking,
And settles the dust of thought.

Transparent yet invisible,
The Tao exists like deep pellucid water.
Its origin is unknown,
For it existed before Heaven and Earth

This is an acclaimed translation of the Taoist classic Lao Tzu’s Tao Teh Ching based on Mr. Kimura’s extensive scholarship in the esoteric principles of Taoist philosophy, cosmology, and numerology. Many aficionados of Tao Teh Ching report that it is one of the best translations they have ever read in its beauty, clarity, and power of expression, while many first-time readers report its life-altering impact.

The distinguished philosopher and logician Ashok Gangadean wrote: “There are numerous translations of Tao Teh Ching available in the marketplace, but this one stands out for me in its conceptual lucidity, philosophical accessibility, and textual fidelity.”

The eminent Chinese philosopher and physicist Wing Pon says: “It is Yasuhiko Kimura’s integral thinking that separates this translation from the many translations of Tao Teh Ching in my library. For this reason I strongly recommend this translation to serious students of Chinese philosophy and to readers of integral science and spirituality.”

Yasuhiko Genku Kimura defines Kosmos as the totality of the known and unknown universes. To think kosmically means to think beyond what you already know and to inquire into the unknown as an act of creation. Think Kosmically, Act Globally is a book designed to provoke thinking and to invite the readers to act from their kosmic vision and global awareness.

The leading Buddhist Scholar Herbert Guenther writes: “Mr. Kimura’s highly commendable study brings a human being’s deepest interests and yearnings directly in contact with issues closest to the present-day human being’s living in the world of his own making.”

The noted author Paul Von Ward writes: “Yasuhiko Kimura’s writing perfectly manifests his thesis that a few humans have achieved the stage of Homo Sapience Universalis. He is one of them!”

The renowned integral philosopher Ken Wilber writes: “This is an important and challenging series of essays.”

Prior to the establishment of Vision In Action in 2003, while Yasuhiko Genku Kimura was Executive Director of the Walter Russell Foundation and The Twilight Club from 1999 to 2002, Yasuhiko Genku Kimura and his colleague Laara Lindo edited and published Walter Russell’s legendary lecture series for IBM from 1927 to 1939 during its pivotal period known for its THINK campaign.

Think: First Principle of Business Ethics is a timeless classic of business ethics and business success. Russell was a brilliant precursor of the concept Mr. Kimura calls the character-building organization, which goes beyond today’s well-practiced learning organization. Mr. Kimura states: “While a learning organization requires a culture and system of continual development of outer knowledge and skills, which Russell calls resources, a character-building organization requires a culture and system of continual development of inner-self knowledge and genius, which he calls resourcefulness.”

This timeless classic is recommended to today’s business leaders searching for a breakthrough in leadership, employee education, and organizational development.
